Connolly can play both guard and center. He was New England’s starting center in 14 games last season, including the playoffs. The 29-year-old is a former undrafted free agent out of Southeast Missouri State.

You have to love Bills’ fans. If your team could have just won a couple of those Super Bowls you guys would be getting the same adulation the Packers’ fans get. I don’t care what anyone says, Andre Reed should be in the Hall of Fame; what a great player.

“The 29-year-old is a former undrafted free agent out of Southeast Missouri State.”

People harping on BB’s lousy drafts need to take this into account. How many of these unheralded guys have come to the Pats and done well? Seems like a lot to me.

Also, how many guys have left or been cut by the Pats, and done well elsewhere. Not many.

Patsiend: Your insight makes me believe you are a true fan of the sport. You “get it”. I’ve been a Pats fan for 3/4 of my life (half century mark coming up) and hands down, no questions asked, BB is the best coach this team has ever had, hell maybe the league has ever had. Taking castaways, throwaways and what others consider to be middle of the road and turning them into very productive and useful pieces to a winning puzzle. GO PATS!

A 71-yard return, longest ever by a lineman. Pulled down at the 4 yard line.
So close.
Couldn’t believe it was happening while I was watching.
